eResearch Technologies Employee Reviews for Cardiac Safety Specialist

"Cardiac Safety Specialist role is extremely repetitive."

What do you like about working at eResearch Technologies?

"Paid well for an entry level job and a good door into the pharmaceutical industry. Department collegues intellegent and great to work with. Generous with work events (Christmas party, Summer events etc.)."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Expect logical testing and team-work tasks. Have some basic understanding of what ECG is."

What don't you like about working at eResearch Technologies?

"Role extremely repetitive with very limited transferrable skills for future jobs. Long hours spent at computer repeating same task, no variation in daily tasks. Very high production targets means every second of day spent at computer, even stopping for a coffee means you will miss goals affecting bonus pay. Shift patterns mean weekend and unsociable working hours likely for Cardiac Safety staff. No interaction with other departments due to total focus on achieving expected production goals."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Provide variation within the role and opportunity for development. Reduce production targets as they are completely unachievable and demoralising for staff."
